    Fallout 76

    Aim for their fusion core, they'll go down in one hit. VATS and the perk card that lets you target your shots (concentrated fire) are your friends. As far as meta weapons go, sneak commando with a fixer or handmade has been a long time popular option that is very powerful when your build is...

    Probably not, I just kept 2. One hellcat and one excavator for if I ever wanna mine something. I don't really use either very often.

    Fallout 76

    Yup, you can get display stands for them in the Atom shop or sometimes as scoreboard rewards. Coincidentally, the limit is 5 display stands and/or mannequins. Nobody can take it unless you "drop" it from your inventory (as opposed to "using" it from your inventory).

    Fallout 76

    You actually can rename the power armor chassis. Highlight the chassis in your inventory, press the "inspect" key, and on the next screen will be the "rename" option listed at the bottom.

    Fallout 76

    The base game free right now has all the expansion content, all versions do. The newer bundles just include some cosmetics and other mostly pointless crap.

    ps2 converter for mechanical keyboard for nkey rollover?

    USB can do NKRO just fine if the manufacturer chooses to. Nerdy explanation. In the case of your Majestouch, Filco didn't choose too. However, it will still do NKRO with the PS/2 adapter.

    Joystick?

    Just to broaden the horizon a bit further, some people will use a gamepad and a mouse together. Analog stick movement while retaining mouselook, works pretty well if you don't need tons of buttons for a game.

    I think my pc diying. Psu or ? Shutdown

    Aww shit... just realized who I was responding to. I'm nobody around here, but even I've noticed your frequent past PC worries. Yeah man, lighten up and let it go. Enjoy your games and don't think too much about every little weird thing that happens. Computers do weird shit all the time, it's...

    I think my pc diying. Psu or ? Shutdown

    Since it only happened once and everything is fine since then, I'd just chalk it up to any number of random power issues. A short brownout or unusual fluctuations on the mains can sometime cause a PSU to shut off. I wouldn't worry about it unless it starts happening repeatedly.

    Some games hard-crash my box but simultaneous Furmark & Prime95 torture tests don't... I'm going nuts

    Is that PSU from a year ago or more? Some of their older Focus models had an oversensitive OCP problem with 30 series cards, and some of their older Prime series are sensitive to noise on the 12V sense line also caused by 30 series cards. I experienced the latter with the exact same symptoms you...

    Need replacement for Seasonic TX-850 with better OCP for 3090

    I had the hard shutdown problem on an older TX-750 with a 3080ti. Was convinced it was an OCP thing as well after reading this thread and others. Fortunately, I stumbled across the thread where Johnny Guru explains that it has nothing to do with OCP on the Prime models and is really a problem...

    AMD Ryzen Master / Question about Best cores for PBO curve

    PBO on motherboard limits, CO at -25 for most cores, two cores at -15, Fmax enhancer off, and DRAM/FCLK at 1900. Everything else relevant on auto/default. I hadn't messed with RAM timings yet when the 00 codes started cropping up. I honestly don't know, I haven't tried optimized yet (or really...

    AMD Ryzen Master / Question about Best cores for PBO curve

    I saw the same issue when setting CPU Power Phase Control to extreme, I would get random crashes with Q-Code 00. Switch back to auto and everything is rock solid, no other changes were necessary. Maybe there is something buggy going on with the extreme setting.

    X570 Crosshair VIII Dark Hero

    W_PUMP+ and AIO_PUMP default to full speed, but you can configure them for PWM or voltage control in the BIOS if you like. So you can use whichever header is most convenient to you. edit: doh, didn't see the other reply while I was typing. Yeah, what he said.

    5800x and Asus Fmax Enhancer. Higher clockspeed but lower scores!?

    Most likely it's because of a phenomena known as clock stretching. Essentially, the processor is throttling frequency down then back up faster than most monitoring software can recognize. The reason for lower scores is because your true average frequency ends up being lower over a given time...

    Are there any air flow cases with support of 280mm radiators on top?

    Yeah, avoid the 4000D if you plan to top mount, nice case but it is very tight up top. I know from experience that Arctic's 280 and Gskill Neo aren't even close to fitting. In fact, front mount 280 with tubes down will require a bit of case cutting (Yup, I hacked that brand new SOB up). Tubes up...

    Co. that makes wooden mechancial keyboard, is the keys + electronics in-house or is there a great OEM keyboard co.?

    Both examples get their key switches from Cherry, which is a popular mechanical switch manufacturer that most others are copying (copycats include Gateron, Kailh, Zeal, and many others). Your first link is made by Varmilo who I don't know much about, but for your second, the Filco boards from...

    How bad did I screw up my radiator?

    It's probably fine. A small amount of bent fins isn't going to make any real difference as long as none of the tubes got damaged.

    FLBK_LED started blinking after shutdown

    That LED is associated with the USB Bios Flashback function. Normally, if you hold the button on the back down for a few seconds you would see that light flash a few times and then it would attempt to do the BIOS flash if there was a drive with a Bios image on it attached to the right port. As...

    Memory-selling obtuseness - please clarify this??

    Plus the two different revisions (B vs Z) are likely different memory IC's. Some have hynix chips, some have samsung etc. Certain IC chips (usually the samsungs) gained a good rep with the overclock crowd and early Ryzen owners, so sticks based on those tend to carry a price premium now.

    X570 Crosshair VIII Dark Hero

    I'm using a Rev 3 of that cooler on this board right now, the normal mounting alignment will work just fine. It's just the optional new offset mounting that won't quite clear the top M.2 cover. The Rev 3 brackets are drilled for both options already and Arctic says they will send me a revised...

    Arctic Liquid Freezer II rev3

    my Gen4 nvme speeds don't match. Anything to try?

    Benchmarking the OS drive (I'm assuming OS because of c: designation) while Windows is running from it can give pretty inconsistent results because the OS may be accessing it during the run. Also, yes smaller sizes are often slower and different mobos/systems can give different results as well.

    CPU overclocking using offset voltage

    I've used offsets to OC a bunch, but mostly in the positive direction and I'm also on fairly old hardware atm so there may be newer caveats that I'm not aware of. But, you're correct in the understanding that applying an offset will generally affect every individual voltage level (VID) across...

    Mouse pad surfaces?

    Lemon pledge on your mouse feet, I'm serious, it works and if it's too slick for you it'll wear off in a couple days/weeks.

    Anyone give up on PC Surround sound and just go stereo? Any regrets?

    To go along with this idea, you could also check out the Focusrite Scarlett or Presonus interfaces, they're all fairly inexpensive. I got the Scarlett to feed my PC to monitors based on a recommendation from here and I'm plenty happy with it (even though I barely use most of it's features).

    Storage Suggestions (4 Months)

    Battery gurus usually recommend to store LI-ion batteries at around 40-50% charge if it's going to be long term; helps to avoid capacity loss. Other than that, I would say just keep 'em somewhere clean, dry, and free of extreme temps. And a lock, definitely lock them up so they don't grow...

    Keyboard alternative for gaming?

    Are you happy with your Pascal investment?

    I am absolutely thrilled with my Pascal "investment" because I invested exactly $0 into my 1070 (thanks to Nvidia's Order of 10 contest).
